If your theory is right, then it should be found all the way down the eastern coast as far as the Chatham rise. PS: Blind, not Bland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where is Bland Bay then? On the eastern side of Whangamumu (or the other Whanga-harbour, the one just north of Elizabeth Reef and Rimariki Island?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K4309 53 Posted Wednesday at 10:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:18 PM Here is a question: The good folk of the Barrier are known to be strongly independent. Some would say they are likely to have a deeper distrust of the government than most of us. Noting it was an outsider that first reported the infestation in Blind Bay, the first thing MPI did was stop all the locals from fishing. Giving there is bugger all else to do on the barrier, and there isn't a Countdown, that can be a bit of a problem. After several hui MPI have let them fish in their own bays again with a bunch of rules. Effectively meaning they can only fish out of kayaks. Knowing that MPI can't actually fix or remove the caulerpa, and that the most likely immediate outcome is they can't go fishing, do you think the Barrier locals would actually report more caulerpa if they saw it?

Ex Machina 311 Posted Thursday at 12:44 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:44 AM Well heck . The buggers are an aquarium item and the young start life as larvae , those would be hard to detect in a fish shipment . https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/3554/?pcatid=3554#:~:text=The Freshwater Asian Gold Clam is a filter feeder that,quality and lower nitrate levels.

Tainui are in charge of the Waikato River now, and they will sort it out properly. None of this Colonialist govt departments and science and stuff. Am I allowed to say that now? Its not politics or religion? (that part is a serious question) Please advise if anyone spontaneously erupts by reading that post. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
